MEET TO MEET.
The Kicking Curbstoners still on the Rampage
Nothing Done but MASTERING Forces for
Tonight.

The real estate license question was one OF
the main subjects of discussion on the streets.
As a rule, when fellow was out of a date
and very much interested in that he would
spend the time ventilating himself on one
side of the question. The number of opin-
ions expressed about equaled the number
who opened their heads in that direction.
On the part of the dissenting agents some at
tributed their kiching to the principle of
the thing" others took into consideration
the money part OF the ordinance and allowed
the rest to go unnoticed.
The calls on the city clerk were about as
numerous as ever and a few cOndescended
to pay the amount specified, taking it for
granted that they were agents. Others were
not sure of the state of affairs and decided TO
wait for something to turn up
At the hour appointed for a meeting at the
court house q number of agents were sta
toned In the hail way inquiring why the
janitor had not made arrangements TO re-
ceive them in the second story. Standing
there and making fruitless inquiry and dis
cussing probabilities finally became monot-
enous and one of the number designated him
self committee to look after the good health
of the honorable janitor. He was
reported to be stationed in the
northern part Of the city, and hence time
was decided necessary for the returns. This
fact bore rather heavily on the minds of
some and the idea of aijourning to set
time advocated, The opposition at that mo-
ment proved too powerful and the grin and
bear it, program continued.
Judge levitt was III the building, and be-
ing accosted by one of the number decided
to allow a meeting held in his office. The
doors were opened and soon the room packed
with dirt vendors The crowd was about as
large as had assembled on the previous night
and composed mainly of the same gentlemen.
The former chairman, DR.. Richmond, opened
up up With a few remarks concerning the
meeting. He inquired If the former organi-
zatien would do. and by general consent it
was decided 10 allow it to remain the same.
About this time the gentleman who had
dispatched hmsf to see the janitOr returned
and reported that the janitor claimed to
have no authority to open the door unless
ordered by the proper powers. This news
was not greeted with cheers.
The committee appointed to manufacture
resolutions did not seem to be present.
An inquiry as to their whereabouts
brought information as late as
) O'Clock when they were sharpening pen ellis
and eating fish as preparatory for the great
task No resolutions seemed to be on hand
which seemed to throw suspicion on the
method of training.
When the discouraging facts became
known Mr.. Hutchinson suggested that an a /
journment until tonight would be the proper
caper under the circumstances. He advised
the appointment of a committee whose work
it should be to make arrangements for hall
in which to hold the meeting. This resulted
in the appointment of himself, Simons and
Wells as committee to do that work. 1t
was then decided to meet this evening at
7:30 o'clock in the court ROOM The same
committee on resolutions still held the conf
dence of the assembly sufficiently to hold
their positions, and word was sent them to
report at the meeting tonight.
Mr.. Hutchinson then said that it was to
the interest of the real estate men to unite
in the question at issue and stand together
for rejecting wrongs attempted against
them. He urged upon his brethren to make
a special effort for getting as many out to
the meeting as possible,
